Bart,

Which Linux distribution and version of OpenSSL are you using?

C.R.,

I'm using Redhat Linux 7.3 & 8.0 and openssl 0.9.6b or later. I haven't tested Redhat Enterprise 3 enough to vouch for that distrubtion. Do you have reason to belief some distributions and/or openssl versions do not work w/ AOLserver 4.x and nsopenssl 3.x?

On Debian 3.0, kernel 2.4.22 with a backported OpenSSL 0.9.7 we were seeing runaway nsd threads that when stopped with 'gdb attach' seemed to be hanging up in a libssl function.  I thought Scott and I had stomped that one, and I was just checking before we go production with 4.0.5.

CR,

Is that 'stomp' in nsopenssl beta 17? I've been running nsopenssl 3beta17 on openssl 0.9.7 on a late series 2.4 kernel and like Bart, I have had no problems tho it is a development server so its not exactly loaded at the moment.

We are currently running the CVS version, which Scott told me had some fixes over beta 17.  I caught him on AIM the other day to ask if beta 17 might be the production release, and he said he was chasing a couple of other bugs with some other people, and his regular job had been getting in the way.  His goal was to try to finish up and release sometime in the next two weeks.

Thats sounds good - we can view beta17 as a release candidate and look forward to the production release so,eti,e soon. All we have to do now is document the config for OACS. As your aware its a bit more sophisticated than v2. 😊

I'm happy to post a snippet of my config if people want to crib it. Its a simple beast just using one sslcontext but it seems to work.
